The Brutal Oni / Exchanging Information
Faced with this situation, Suika reached out to stop Scout.
"Your bullets are too expensive; these guys don't deserve them. Give them to me!"
Scout pulled a dagger from his waist.
"Which eye of yours saw me getting ready to draw my gun?"
"That's true! But you won't have a chance to make a move!"
After Suika finished speaking, she waved her hand, and those who rushed over were blown dozens of meters into the air by a gust of wind before losing their balance and falling back down.
"Let's go!" After dealing with these unidentified people with a single move of perfect control, Suika Mount Oe Tempest to the way they came and said.
"How about we go back to the craftsman's place, and then you can ask Hoshiguma to bring some people over? I don't think the way back might be so safe." Scout looked back and could tell from the hushed voices that a number of people were gathering around.
"Then let's fight them out. After that, we'll go complain to Wei Yenwu. It seems the Rat King is getting old and can't control his men anymore. It's time to find someone else to be the leader!"
Suika did not agree; an attack of this magnitude would not escape the Rat King's notice.
Therefore, the other party has essentially tacitly agreed.
As for why, it might be a test, or it could be for other reasons, but Suika is not the kind of person who would act according to someone else's script or plan.
Seeing that Suika was determined to leave, Scout had no choice but to grip his dagger and follow behind Suika.
"Why don't you use that Dense Fog move, and we can just slip out!" Before they'd even finished walking down one alley, Scout saw that Suika had already sent at least fifty people flying and couldn't help but offer his advice.
"NONONO, you should know that there is a saying in the Great Yan: 'A good start prevents a hundred bad ones.'"
Sometimes, you have to really hurt someone, otherwise people will think you're easy to bully.
After speaking, Suika unleashed another punch.
Moreover, this punch was three times stronger than the previous one, and she no longer maintained precise control over it.
Chapter 380 The Ferocious Ghost
As we go down this loop
The gale no longer traveled along the narrow road, but instead spread forward in a fan shape.
Moreover, since Suika had decided to be ruthless, she had no intention of showing any mercy to anyone.
Ice Rune - Ice Storm was released simultaneously.
Icicles, carried by the gale, amplified its destructive power several times over.
If those who were blown into the air earlier still had a chance of surviving, this punch would have pierced several holes in even the Shieldguards under Patriot, let alone these gang members who didn't have any protective gear to begin with.
Scout, standing behind Suika, was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Suika to turn on him so suddenly.
They had previously said that the Rat King was a friend on the same side.
But this act of destroying half a street with a single punch isn't just a slap in the face; it's like wreaking havoc in someone else's house.
Can that Rat King really hold back?
While Suika was unleashing her killing spree, on the other side of the slums, the Rat King, Lin Ge Rui, was crushing the neck of the person in front of him.
His cold gaze swept around the room, the ruthlessness in his eyes sending chills down the spines of those who met his eyes.
Several corpses lay at his feet.
Just as he shook his body to shake off the sand stuck to him, several figures emerged from around him.
"What's going on?" Lin Ge Rui looked at the people not far away.
"Sixty percent of the gangs in the slums have suddenly rioted, and our people are suppressing them."
I suspect someone wants to harm you.
"Nonsense, how could 60% of the gangs unite and riot simultaneously without anyone coordinating their actions?"
Very good, very good...
Looks like I've given them face these past few years.
"Pass down the order: every gang involved in the riot will be wiped out."
The Rat King never expected that his decision to delegate power in order to pave the way for his daughter over the past two years would result in his subordinates daring to cause trouble.
The thought that 60% of the gangs were involved told him that this was no ordinary matter.
He had just realized that the other party's commotion was definitely not aimed at him, but simply to trap him here.
So who is the other side's target?
Wei Yenwu?
How could problems in the slums possibly affect him?
Lin Ge Rui looked outside, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
News soon reached him that the other side of the slums was suspected of being attacked by Originium Arts users skilled in storm powers.
Who is it?
Lin Ge Rui frowned. In his memory, there was nothing on that side that would cause such a commotion.
Soon a somewhat blurry photo appeared in front of him, and his gaze sharpened when he saw it.
Although it looked a bit blurry, he recognized the girl inside.
After all, her appearance was too distinctive; she was the only person in the entire Lungmen with such exaggerated horns.
In just a second, he realized that the other party was indeed involved, but that the other party was not the mastermind but the victim.
"Who sent this message back?" Lin Ge Rui looked to the side.
"He's one of my deputies," the person next to him said respectfully.
"Kill him." After saying that, Lin Ge Rui tucked the photo into his pocket, turned around, and walked towards the city.
When they arrived at the border between the slums and ordinary people, the area had already been sealed off by the Guard Department.
"Uncle Lin!" Just as Lin Ge Rui was about to speak, he heard Chen's voice from not far away.
He withdrew his imposing manner and transformed back into a kind old man.
"Xiao Chen, what are you doing here?"
"I heard there was a riot in the slums and many people were injured. Are you alright...?"
Although he knew the other person's identity, Chen's concern for them did not diminish.
"Fortunately, my old bones can still hold up. Could you help me contact Governor Wei?"
After Lin Ge Rui finished speaking, Chen nodded and picked up her phone. Less than a minute later, she looked up at Lin Ge Rui.
"Uncle Lin, Governor Wei is waiting for you at the Governor's Mansion. Let me arrange a car to take you there!"
"Alright..." the Rat King said, then followed Chen into the police car.
On the other hand, because of Suika's incredible power, the gang members readily backed down when they saw the miserable state of the people Suika had killed.
They did receive a tip to capture or kill Suika, and they also learned of her great strength when they arrived.
But Suika's fighting prowess far exceeded their expectations.
Even a regular army is highly likely to collapse when facing losses of 30%, let alone these gang members.
And more importantly, they never expected Suika to be that ruthless.
It's important to understand that her approach completely disregarded whether all targets within range were enemies.
Basically, once you start showing your face, you're doomed.
Only those who stayed obediently in their houses survived.
While this indiscriminate attack method did result in friendly fire incidents, it also completely destroyed the morale of these gang members.
After all, their initial plan was that even if they failed, they could still rely on the slum dwellers to retreat into the shadows.
But Suika's stance was clear: she would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, as long as there were enemies.
This reckless approach actually frightened these people.
So even though Suika and Scout spotted an opportunity to attack while they were quickly retreating, they ultimately didn't dare to make another move.
Scout didn't say anything but silently followed behind Suika.
He knew very well that although Suika's actions were inhumane and quite excessive for those who were accidentally injured, they were indeed the fastest and most effective solution.
Unless the enemy is entirely composed of suicide squad members, Suika's displayed determination would make anyone back down.
After leaving the slums, the two went straight back to Scout's resting place.
Upon seeing the two return, Alex and Misha came out.
What's happening outside?!
Just as Suika and her companion left the slum, the Guard Department arrived and completely blocked off the entrances and exits to the slum.
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the two people inside the house.
"Don't worry, let's wait and see..."
Suika spoke up to comfort the two of them.
"Are you sure Wei Yenwu and that Rat King won't blame you for that commotion just now?"
Scout looked at Suika.
"There is no doubt that the Rat King is the absolute king and controller of the slums."
While we wouldn't call our relationship close, we were definitely not enemies.
Besides, if it really was his doing, I'd probably have to kill ten times more people to get out of the slums.
Therefore, I feel there must be something fishy about this.
Let's wait and see what Wei Yenwu has to say!
Although Suika's behavior may seem reckless, she is actually very calm inside.
Based on her understanding of the Rat King and Wei Yenwu, she knew that if it were someone else's doing, it wouldn't be this simple.
Besides, if it were a test, it wouldn't have escalated to that point where he still wouldn't come out.
Chapter 381 Exchanged Intelligence
Since they didn't see the Rat King at all, and Alex and Misha were both fine when they returned, that means one thing.
This operation was not orchestrated by Wei Yenwu or Lin Ge Rui.
Even if Wei Yenwu is short-sighted and Lin Ge Rui is incompetent, Wen Yue, as Wei Yenwu's strategist, would not easily let go of the two who were specially brought back by Chen and Hoshiguma through Suika's request.
A moment later, Scout saw Hoshiguma walking over with a pair of the Guard Department personnel.
He gestured to Suika, pointing outside.
Suika said there was no need to worry, and Hoshiguma's arrival further confirmed her judgment.
"Don't worry, they're probably here to help us move."
After all, if they really wanted to capture us, it wouldn't be Hoshiguma who came."
As expected, when Hoshiguma arrived, she said that she had received news that there was trouble in the slums and that someone wanted to harm Suika and her group. Just then, a riot broke out in the slums, so she took the opportunity to apply for the guard duty here and come to inquire about the situation.
Suika recounted how she and Scout were ambushed after retrieving their weapons.
After hearing that she had exerted too much effort in order to get out of that place as quickly as possible, and that there might have been accidental injuries, Hoshiguma did not blame her.
"I understand. When you suddenly encounter this situation, it's already difficult enough to protect yourself to the greatest extent possible. You can't expect someone to be so precise as to distinguish between enemies and strangers in such a chaotic situation."
"But there were bound to be some collateral damage, Hoshiguma- nee. I'll leave some money here. After this happens, could you help me check on the families who were injured and help them get the necessary supplies?"
After all, the damage to the houses or the injuries and deaths were caused by her own actions. Suika is not the kind of Ultraman fights a big battle in the city, destroys a lot of houses, barely defeats the monster, and then just walks away.
She is still willing to take responsibility for the losses that should be compensated.
Hoshiguma smiled and reached out to pat Suika's head. "It's kind of you to put your heart into this, so I'll take care of it."
Then she looked at Scout
"This place is too close to the slums. Although I don't know if this incident is targeted at you or someone else, the security situation in the slums will definitely affect this area."
Before coming here, I borrowed a house from a colleague. It's much safer there, let's move there."
